The One Hour Rule receives the approbation of tho whole Whig party, and cannot be censured by the patriotic of the other party. It will make this Congress memorable. The Lewisburg Whig, in the following sensible article, utters the prevailing sentiment on this subject: Lou. Journal. The best thing which the present House of llepresentatives has done, is the re

striction ct its members to speecnes ol one

hour duration. We have always nought that the greatest clog to legislation was, not the freedom, but the unrestricted outrageous extravagance of debate, in which days and w eeks were consumed, for no other purpose than to obstruct legislation,

and gratify an inordinate thirst for speaking, which of late years has become a pas

sion with a maiontv ot ttie members; to

the annovance of the real bus ness men

of the House, and the retarding, if not to

tal defeat, of useful measures. An evi-

lenee of the benefit of this law, adapted

in the lower House, is exhibited in the rapid

progress they havo made since it adoption, compared with the tardy legislation

of the Senate. On this subject wo shall

adopt the language of the Lynchburg Virginian, in which our ideas are presented, in a form go much better than w e cam express them, that we must take the liberty of transferring tho remarks of that paper to our columns. The Virginian savs:

'The country w ill have remarked with astonishment tho fact that the Senate, consisting of members, lias . progressed more slowly than the House of Representatives consisting of '-2 10, notwithstanding the former body had made considerable headway many days before the latter was even organized. The reason is obvious. In the House, th Whig", sensible. that the, inr-'ji rity would be, as they oujht to be, held responsible by the people for the waste id' time and public money, determined to put a stop to useless debate, indulged in for the single purpose of staving' off a decision upon the- great measures pending before Congress; w hile in the Senale, an unlimited license, wdiich has ben grossly abused, has been given to discussion. The opposition members of the latter body, whenever an intimation hasbcn given that the majority of the Senate might find it necessary to follow the example of tho other House, have exhibited an unwonted degree of passion; and one of them who, like all apostates, goes further than the rest, (we mean Mr. Calhoun,) in order to manifest his loyality to his new allies, which might else be questioned, utters the heretical sentiment that such a rule is worse than the alien and sedition law, because while the latter only gagged the eqleie former would gag the eople's representatives! Does ho mean to say, then, that the people's representatives have rights, and are entitled to privileges, from which the people themselves may be debarred? This doctrine may be in accordance with the principles of the ncie school democracy, but it finds no place in the true republican creed, nor will it meet a response in public opinion. The people's representatives lind it necessary to trammel themselves with rules; while the people are unfettered and unrestricted. And this for very manifest reasons, w hich find their exemplification in the existing condition of public business. The people arc not fo be deceived by .i r . ' i .. .,,,1.1 1. i.,

Thev know that if the cession be protracted to an unusual length, they will be told that, the Whigs, having a majority in both houses, are responsible for this waste of time and mone-. Yet if the majority are not to use ihe power in their hands, w ith what justice can they be censured for the delay which may occur? Xo one objects to full and ample discussion; but there is an increasing disgust felt for those interminable speakers, who, never

discussing any question, for the purpose of

mtluencing its decision, consume whole days in talking about every imaginable theme, whether relevant or not, from the creation of the world to the last Presidential election. Public sentiment demands a corrective to this growing evil; and so far from sympathizing with those whose flights are clipped by the "gag-law," the people will approve cf every measure which may have a tendency to make Congress a bodj of law-makers instead of a mob of wranglers."

AwfstI J:i!as55ity. THE STEAMBOAT ERIE B UK XT. 180 LIVES LOST. By the Steamboat Coin. Ferry, just arrived from Buffalo, we are startled with tlie appalling intelligence that the

Steamboat Erie was entirely destroyed;

by lire on the afternoon of Monday last. So far as we can learn from the floating rumors brought by the Perry, the Erie started from buffalo wit!) over two hundred passengers only TWENTYNINE of whom escaped. Tho conflagration took place off Silver Creek, about twenty-five miles this side of Buffalo. It is somewhat co-incident that the Steamboat Washington was burnt two vears ago, near the same spot. The fire was discovered by the Dt Witt Clinton, then about 18 miles west of the Erie. She was immediatly put for the spot and arrived in time to secure twenty-seven of tlie survivors. Two others were picked up by a sm:dl boat from Dunkirk, and these comprise the whole list of saved. The Clinton towed the wreck to within three miles of the shore, when the line parted, and it sank. When the Clinton lied tlie spot, the Erie was bumtd to the water's edge, the few survivors clinging to the fragments of tlie floating wreck, or floating on such stray articles, -at incident furnished. The fire appeared to originate from the bursting of a demijohn of spirits of turpentine, of which '2 or 3 were placed by some painters who had been at work on board, near the flues. A more disastrous spectarde could not have been presented. Perishing hundreds awaited a fearful death for what fate is more dieadful than each as is met in the midst of burning limbers ond stilling smoke? alone in th"ir misery on the waters; with the land, which they

would have bartered worlds to gdn, but five or six miles away; with none to hear the wild cry for succor or to speak consolation to the despairing spirit. Fearful most fearful was their perilouscondition, and it will be long before the event or its consequences are forgotten. Which side. They are discussing anrw, in tho city of New V.rk, tho important euestion which sice of a. ladv, op horseback, should a gentleman ride? Those who insist upon the left side, say. that in passing strangers, carriages. &. the feet and lower limbs ot tlie lady would be exposed to injury by contract; and though it is admitted that in England the right side is taken by the cavalier, yet it is also added that such a course i? adopted because in England the law of the road requires passengers, to "keep to tho left. Those who contend for the rigid side, declare that the dress and limbs of the lady are placed in continued danger by the casual irregular movements ol' either horse if the gentleman is on the left, and so the matter stands yet in dispute, as unsettled hs tlie McLeodcase or the boundary question. We propose a compromise, by which neither party may claim a triumph over the other, whatever both parties may have to concede. It is evident that which side soever of tha lady the gentleman takes the other side is unprotected; and whatever arguments may be used for the right, arguments of equal weight may be adduced for the left, and so vice versa. We propose, then, this compromise, and look to sec it adopted. As the left side is not right, and the right not proper, and as no centleman likes to be wrong or not right w ith a lady, let them split tlie difference, and instead of riding at the right or hft hand of the lady, let tho gentlemen ride !c fort', tiie latter upon a saddle, and the former upon a jiillicn. This is resorting to first principles, and will effectually settle the question. We propose selling the example as soon as w e can find a pillion, looking for no inconvenience in tho compromise, oxcepting, perhaps, the occasional family discussion as to the right of precedence. U, S, Gazette. Preservation of Butter. At a late coun

cil of the lioyal Agricultural Society of England, a jar of butter was received of

Henry Wood, Esq., as a specimen ot tho successful mode adopted for its preservation when that article is intended for export to foreign climates. Mr. Wood informed tho council that this butter had been prepared on the 19th inst. (June,) according to tiie process adopted in eastern countries, where it was used for culinary purposes instead of hog's lard, which the Mahometan law prohibited, and would keep for anv length of time in a perfect state of preservation, although it contained no salt or other additional substance. This preservative state of the butter was induced by the removal of scum, and the dissipation of the watery particles of fresh butter, effected bv the gentlest ossible ap

plication of sufficient heat to produce the result. Mr. Wood stated that in Asia this gentle heat was obtained by the natives by tilling a large open earthen-ware pan with powdered and well dried cow-dung, and then selling fire to it, introducing into the miditef the burning cow-dun"- ru earthen

vessel containing the butter, which thus became melted; and when tho scum, as it rose, had been successively removed, and the watery particles driven off by the heat, it was poured into ajar and preserved for use. Mr. Wood suggested that a sandbath, properly regulated, might answer the same purpose as the dried cow-dung, and, as the process was very simple, there could be no difficulty in preparing it; and that, w hen once prepared, the butter never became tainted. Mr. Wood stated that he carried with him to the Cape of Good Hope some butter prepared in the same way, a year previously, and which was there pronounced to be superior to tho salted butter of tiie colony, and for culinary purposes far superior to. lard.

Value of Ashes. Professor Jackson, inoneof.his lectures in Boston, in illustrating the manner in which soils might be rendered fertile, said llu l: "A farm w ithin his knowledge was blow ing sand, a pine barren, and almost hopeless, on which ten bushels of corn to an acre could scarcely be grown, bv the judicious application of ashes, had been made to produce forty or fifty bushels to the acre." We do not question the correctness of Dr. Jackson's statements. Our observation lias convinced us that on sandy soils, with the exception of elay marl, there is nothing more beneficial in the, application to such soils than ashes; and, very fortunately, unless uncommon quantities of acid exist in such soils, leached ashes are nearly as beneficial as unleached ones. Ashes do what lime cannot; they render the soil more tenacious of moisture: and, although their action is not as prompt or e.l cient on cold sour soils, thev are, for the reason assigned. considered as valuable on light sand one. Of this fact tiie farmers on the light soils of Long Island and New Jersey are well aware, and in tho gathering und ap

plication of ashes find a certain source of

profit. Phil. Sat. Courier. in. Another Dffctlcation Swart wont tr Ilunawaij, or what you please. The

devil is still busy among the financiers. Merrel Ii. Sherwood, we now (earn on the best authority, left the country with

a fine young lady, not his wife, in the ship Kenown, at Philadelphia, bound for Hamburg. This distinguished man got up the Erie County Hank, swindled the State of Indiana out of 6310,000, purchased the Dry Dock Hank, was made president, then lesigi. cd, aud is now out of the country with his paramour, leaving his wife and children in Buffalo, to shift for themselves. Here h a model for a financier for you. Don't split your sides, Satan. Of the Indiana ftock, he sold a large quantity to the North American Trust Company. In June last, a requisition was procured of Govcrner Seward, to deliver him up to the authorities of Indiana. As soon as Sherwood heard of this, he wcHt to New Jersey and skulked. While another requisition was preping for the Governor of New Jersey, Sherwood went to Philadelphia, procure some foreign erold, and embarked without a passport. His brother in this city afterwards procured a passport from the Secretary of State, and sent it privately after him to Hamburg. It is supposed that Sherwood has taken ?'200,000 with him, the proceeds of all the Indiana bonds, equal to half a million. This is a financier ungowned. He belonged to the same cliques who denounced the Herald for indecency, immorality and falsehood. He was asaint, ?nd a hater of all money articles. Why? Because they told too much truth. A7. J. Herald. Diamond found in Indiana. The Cincinnati papers say that a diamond, weighing about thirteen grains, has been found at Pittsburgh on the Wabash, Inchana; and they enter into a long and grave speculation about tiie possibilty of diamonds being there in abundance so as to form a diamond mine. Probably this diamond mine will turn out to be very much like the celebrated gold mines of Virginia, about which so much was said some few years since. But on close examination of the gold mines, it was found that a distinguished financier and cotton operator of Wall street (since exploded) actually planted a lot of gold dust on some lands, which he wanted to dispose of; and on the strength thereof gold a large quantity at high prices. Who knows but that somebody ha some lands to sell on the Wabash and planted this diamond for a nest egg. There no end to the tricks of financiers, particularly when lands, gold, or precious 6tones are in the question. A. I . Jlcr-rald.

A neiu Verb. A Philadelphia paper intimates that Swartwout is not indebted to the United States a cent, having as signed real estate, more than sufficient to cover his defalcation and adds: "What will Webster do now with his dictionary? He has made a new verb, thus. To Swartwout, v. a. to absquatulate, run away, evaporate, back rut, mosey, cut stick, mizzle, slope, slant, cut dirt, make tracks, take the Sabine slida, and disappear." And he might add, takes with a leaving." Louisville Gazelle.

A Xovtl Fight. On Thursday last a young lad of this town, named Samuel Bell, was hunting in the woods near here,

with two dogs. He had lost sight of

them a few minutes, when lie heard their piteous cries and yells, as if in the greatest distress. Supposing a leopard had caught one of them he advanced cautiously in the direction of the noise, and had gone but a few paces when he found himself within half a dozen yards of a hugs boa constrictor, in whose vast folds both dogs were enveloped. The snake at the same moment discovered him, and raising its head, in a threatening manner, began slowly to re cede with its prey. The lad instantly leveled his gun and fired, wounding the snake in the neck and head, but without causing him to relinquish his hold upon the dogs. The monster still faced his antagonist and kept his ground. The young hunter with admirable coolness and courage, re-loaded his piece and again fired full at the head of the boa; but even the eoond shot, though it took effect did not finish the conflict, nor cause the release of the poor dogs which

were still held fst in the soiake coil.

Again tlie determined lad loaded and fir

ed, and this time with entire success.

The victory was complete and the hunter boy bore off in triumph the monster he had so barvely conquered, and w?s followed home by the wounded and Heeding Jogs he had so gallantly rescue'1. Liberia Herald. -tVegn Impudrnce. A New Bedford correspondent, whose communication was received by Mr. Hatch, informs us that there was considerable excitement in that town yesterday as tlie steamboat Telegraph was about to leave for Nantucket. It appears that there was, or is to be an Abolition convention or meeting of some

sort at Nantucket, and a large number of

blacks went on board the boat to take passage for the island, but they insisted on occupying the cabin and mixing indiscriminately with tlie white passengers. Captain Phinuey in a gentlemanly manner informed them that it was contrary

to the regulations of the boat, that a place was set apart for colored people ami '.hat they must limit themselves tj that part of the boat. This led to insolence from some of the negroes, and they expressed their determination to have free access to the cabin. Capt. Phinney remonstrated whh them, but finding remonstrance in vain, at last took a bold stanTl and declared that the bnal should not go unless the negroes would conform to the regulations. The consequence was that the boat remained a considerable time beyond the hour for her departure, till at last mot of the colwred ladies ?.nd gentlemen, finding that they could not go on their own terms, consented to occupy their proper place, and tlie boat started, the o-iptain declaring previously, that if any of the negroes attempted to infringe upon the reulatiens, he would immediately put back, or put them ashore at the first stopping place. Post. Transcript. Apple Dumplings. Two .'ons of fie Green Isle, fraveihng through Pennsylvania, called at a tavern to take their dinner. Upon the table there was placed, amongst other good things, a dish of apple dumplings, smoking hot, which ?ocn attracted the attention of Michael, who thus addressed hi companion: "Patrick and w hat is them things in the platther there?

When Noah planted the first vine and retired, Satan approached and said "1 will nourish, you, charming plant!" He quieklv fetched three animals a sheep, a lion, and a hog, and killed them one after another n3r tlie vine. The virtues of the blood of these three animals penetrated it, and are still manifested in its growth. When a man drinks one goblet of wine he is then agreeable, gentle, friendly. That is the nature of the lamb. When lie drinks two, he is like the lion, and says, "who is like me?" He then talks "of stupendous things. When he drinks more, his senses forsake him, and at length he wallow s in the mire. Need it then be said that he then resembles the hog. Hare. There is a giape vine in Hampton Court.
